Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Osteotide and Bonmax PTH are both trade names for a medicament called Teriparatide used to treat osteoporosis/ osteopenia ( mineral bone loss ) and prevent bone fracture.
Osteoporosis is diagnosed with imaging techniques (DXA) and only after that can be started treatment for this condition.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
